It appears that Manafort was under surveillance since 2014, before Trump's campaign existed.
He joined Trump's campaign in March 2016, and was campaign manager from June 2016 to August 2016, when he left the campaign.
Please explain how the surveillance was targeted at Trump or his campaign when the surveillance was already in effect for a long time against Manafort who subsequently joined Trump's campaign and then left the campaign a few months later.

As long as you are on record saying that it is okay for the political party in charge of the Executive branch to eavesdrop on the conversations of their opponents during an election campaign, we shouldn't hear any complaints if Trump does the same thing.
And it is okay to unmask those people that were incidental in the recordings made too... right?
It is very easy to say that they were not targeting the campaign.
I am not okay with it.

Yeah, no.
Are you okay with political campaigns dealing repeatedly with foreign agents?
Because this seems like highly selective outrage here.

Talk about fake news... Manafort didn't work on the Trump campaign in 2014. It didn't even exist back then...

So you "automatically" believe all the "official" MSM reports do you.
Nobody in the general public actually really knows anything.
For all we know, maybe Manafort has been "involved" with intelligence gathering for many years.
Trump knew all about Manafort long before his "Campaign" became official.
The whole thing is just too "perfect" isn't it.

Lol... Manny isn't Trump.
Do you not see the stretch you're making? I'm only a moderate practitioner of yoga but I'd call that a yoga "staff pose".
Since this is all okay then....
Will you be okay with Trump having his Justice Department wiretapping the home of the next Democrat that is nominated as candidate for POTUS, and their campaign team members?
Obama set precidence and since he got away with it, Trump can get in on his shirttail.
